We welcome Johnny Max (BrewCrazy Brewcast) to the show and enjoy some of his award winning homebrews including the infamous Cause of Death. It's an all-grain 21% ABV beverage that they said «couldn't be done.» You read about it in Brew Your Own magazine, now hear how it was done straight from the brewer himself.

Add some beer news with Rick Lyke (http://lyke2drink.blogspot.com), an interview with the fine folks from O'Fallon Brewery, and of course - some great blues music with a twist of gospel and you have the recipe for a fun evening Big Foamy Head style!

The video experiments continue. We try out Adobe Premiere Elements for some cool effects.

What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' deleted, who'll go to work on the holmes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass.

We get medieval with our beers and metal with our music... well metal from our perspective!! Probably mild on the metal scale of metalness. Enjoy some great tunes and release your hidden Viking desires to maruad distant lands! We include a news segment from Rick Lyke and a new pre-show video on YouTube!

If you need proof that editing and drinking does not mix, this is it. We forgot to add the news to Show 60! So here is a special thrilling standalone issue of Beer News with Rick Lyke from Lyke2Drink.blogspot.com. Incestuous mergers and secret covenants with the Dark Lord, speculation on how big a building 34 billion beer cans will make, and much more!

Great beer from Sprecher (and a really sucky one from the beer locker), blues from the Vaughn brothers, Robin Trower, Jimmy Thackery and more. We rant about sushi restaurants, give you the homebrew update with special guest Craig from Brew Bubbas and a good cause. More great beer news from Rick Lyke, and assorted odds and ends - and we manage to keep all our promises!

We kick off the new year with some fantastic beers from the O'Fallon Brewery of O'Fallon, Missouri. These guys create some wild flavors with great results. We sample six of their brews PLUS we reveal a stealth beer from one of the giant corporate brewers (hint: their initials are AB) and put it head to head against it's competitor to see who is the King of Stouts. On the news front, we debut our new snazzy intro and Rick Lyke from lyke2drink.blogspot.com brings us more news from AB, Flying Dog and the latest on the Iron City drama. We salute the passing of James Brown and give you lots of homebrew updates and info, while cooking up some Bambi at the same time. And we welcome a new little foamy head by the name of Olivia. Round it out with some great blues from Curtis Salgado and Duke Robilliard and you've got a show. Hard to believe we kept it under an hour!

Phil: Rick, I can't believe you lost your interviews. That is very unprofessional! :-) Sorry to hear about that, but at least you have a butt load of very strong beer to blame it on. I love beers like gruits that use herbs instead of hops. Alaskan Brewing makes a winter...

Phil: I have no idea how you guys landed these beers, as I've never seen them (and believe me, I've looked). Sounds like the brewer is as advertised though. Interesting that he uses flaked oats in these beers - it's an ingredient we don't see a lot of. I'm sure it helps add...
